#3. Resume Assignment
 
Download the guidelines and the sample cover letter and resume template to help you complete this assignment.  Follow the directions you will find in the guidelines to understand.  The sample cover letter and resume are in a Word doc, so you may use those to create your own.  It is ok to delete and plug in your info (especilly if you have never created one).  That is why I gave this to you.  If anything is unclear, please ask for clarification.
